Most of this cost comes from overtime pay, since officers are being brought in from the various New York precincts to cover the added security needs in the area near Mr. Trump’s midtown Manhattan residence, the eponymous Trump Tower, located on the posh and active thoroughfare, Fifth Avenue. The high-profile precautions have necessitated two of the five lanes on Fifth Avenue be closed and security checkpoints for passersby, costly in themselves but also obvious contributions to a warzone aesthetic that proves unappealing to potential customers of both the high-end offerings and more affordable convenience stores nearby.

The City had requested reimbursement of $35 million, an amount that won’t cover all costs, to account for the period between Mr. Trump’s election on November 8 and his official presidential move-in, this Friday, January 20, but so far seems only to be expecting the $7 million recently appropriated in the federal spending bill.
